Who's Online

The School for Student Leadership is very proud to share some exciting news!

Announcing the launch of the Student Equity Fund: enabling people who share our vision of transformative education to contribute to this outstanding program and help ensure it is affordable and accessible for all students in the public education system.

This applies to schools and families enrolled to attend Alpine and Gnurad-Gundidj campuses in term 2.

At this stage, all programs at the School for Student Leadership Campuses have been postponed. Please read on.

--

We are receiving enquiries about the impact of Covid19 on the potential operation of our programs in term 2 and beyond. Of course, the health and wellbeing of students and staff is our number one concern. We take direction from the Department of Education, Victorian and Australian Governments on the matter of operation or not.

The Premier has extended Stage 3 restrictions until midnight 11 May. As our program is a residential experience, the ability to socially isolate and distance is nearly impossible and unfeasible with Stage 3 restrictions. We cannot operate safely, compliantly and normally with the current advice.

However, please also note the following:

All Victorian Government Schools are following the Camps and Excursions advice. The advice is:All camps scheduled to start from and including Tuesday 17 March must be postponed and rescheduled, or, if there is no other option, cancelled.

As a result, schools and students who were scheduled to attend in term 2 should be aware that there WILL NOT be a program at this stage.

We are waiting on advice from DET regarding the ongoing operation of our school in the current COVID19 emergency environment.

We are exploring a range of opportunities to provide remote learning, Webinars and other support for schools and students who would normally have participated in our program.

We will contact individual schools this week about their needs and desires to have our assistance with remote learning.

While there is no definite end point to COVID19 effects on our operation, we remain committed to enable students to participate in our programs in future if we can reschedule.

We will be making continued and ongoing assessments and taking regular advice from DET about if or when we can continue operations.

The allocation of school regions to School for Student Leadership Campuses is now available. This matrix enables schools to determine which Campus their school and surrounding region has been allocated to and in which terms across the four SSL Campuses in Victoria. We are really excited that we will be able to accept more students next year with a fourth SSL Campus at Don Valley opening in 2021.

Changes to Term 1 Snowy River Campus Program:
We are working towards having the campuses able to open on Sunday 23 February and conclude Saturday 28 March as planned.
This is a five-week program. There will not be a visiting weekend.

A Note to Parents, Guardians, Carers and Our Soon to be Students

There has been some disappointment and questioning of the delay in opening of Snowy Campus. Last Friday, Marlo experienced another evacuation warning. Fires are still active about 5km east of the school. The reason we are closed to students, is to keep these magnificent volunteers housed, fed and ready to keep us safe. We are doing everything we can to ensure we are able to take students very soon, but we implore you to be patient.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are three campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. TheAlpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place".
--Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Bidawel and Gundijmara people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campuses are built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
